The same month Elinor, the daughter of the Govemor, the wife of Ananias Dare, gave birth to a daughter, the first white child born in this part of the continent, who was named Virginia. Before long a dispute arose between the Governor and his Council as to the proper person to return to England for supplies.
What new eyes would look out on a world in which all things had become new, when there fell from them as it had been scales, and as quickly as had come the blinding, so quickly came the restored vision! Ananias was neither Apostle nor official, yet the laying on of his hands communicated 'the Holy Ghost. Saul received that gift before baptism, not after or through the ordinance.
John White was their governor, and very shortly after they came to Roanoke, his daughter, Mistress Ananias Dare, had a little baby girl, the first white child to be born in the new world, so they named her Virginia.
The Duchess shook her head. "She is lying, Monsieur de Soyecourt, and undoubtedly this is the man." John Bulmer went to the girl and took her hand. "You are trying to save me, I know. But need I warn you that the reward of Ananias was never a synonym for felicity?" "Jean Bulmer! Jean Bulmer!" the girl asked, and her voice was tender; "why did you return to Bellegarde, Jean Bulmer?"
If, however, we find a man that not only believes, but is a penitent believer, such as Saul of Tarsus was when Ananias found him, we shall say, as Ananias said: "And now why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." In all this there is nothing human, nothing schismatical. All can accept it who are willing to accept the Word of the Lord.
Yea, Ananias, good man, made intercession to my Lord against me; yet he would have mercy upon me, yea, joined mercy to mercy, until he had made me a monument of grace. He made a saint of me, and persuaded me that my transgressions were forgiven me. Shall not this lay obligation upon me? Is not love of the greatest force to oblige?
Truly gross ignorance of science darkens more of a man's mental horizon, and in its possible bearing on the destinies of a race is far more dangerous than even total blindness to the course of human history and endeavour; and yet it is difficult to question the popular verdict that to know nothing of gravitation though ridiculous is venial, while to know nothing of Ananias is an offence which can never be forgiven.
August 18, five days after the christening of Manteo, Eleanor Dare, daughter to the governor and wife of Ananias Dare, one of White's council, was delivered of a daughter, and this child, Virginia, was the first Christian born in the new realm. When his granddaughter was only ten days old Governor White went to England for supplies. He reached Hampton November 8, 1587.
"Jones," I panted. "Jones." He muttered something about Ananias, and speeded up. "But it was an awfully tight place," I pleaded. "Something had to be done; you must make allowances; it was the first thing that came into my head and you must admit that it worked, Jones. Didn't she send you the locket? Didn't she ?" "What a prancing, show-of, matinee fool you've made me look!" he burst out.
"Ananias," for instance, pitches into your lecture, we will say, in some paper taken by the people in your kitchen. Your servants get saucy and negligent. If their newspaper calls you names, they need not be so particular about shutting doors softly or boiling potatoes.
